Thirty-two osteoarthritic knees were evaluated by clinical and radiological examination after an minimum follow-up of two years. The average age of the patients at the time of surgery was 66.6 years (range, 54 to 79 years).
We have believed that the alignment in coronal plane obtained by osteotomy is one of the most important factors in determining the results. Based on this study, we believe that the alignment in sagittal plane and the laxity of the knee joint are also important factors in determining the result.
